💼 What the programme involves

Are you passionate about making a positive impact on society? We are excited to introduce our ESC project, which focuses on the social reintegration of individuals at risk of exclusion and empowers them to become active citizens. This initiative addresses a pressing issue that affects countless people – social exclusion and its harmful consequences. As a volunteer, you will have the opportunity to design and lead activities and workshops for Youth and Children, visit Christmas markets, schools and public institutions to raise awareness of EU values, introduce your culture and promote ESC mobilities. You will also take part in meetings with NGOs working on poverty, exclusion, and social challenges, as well as support initiatives that encourage integration, reintegration, charitable activities, and the promotion of health and wellbeing. Additionally, you will contribute to cultural presentations at the library and join us to celebrate the end of the year with Fundacja CAT!

ℹ️ Additional information

The project is implemented under the European Solidarity Corps Programme, financed by the European Commission.
The participating organisations have to be mindful of these needs as they are responsible for providing a respectful and trusting hosting environment. At the same time, the organisations participating in the initiative devote a great deal of time, energy and resources to set up a high-quality activity; they should therefore expect that European Solidarity Corps participants show a similar level of respect for the local communities and the people that are directly concerned by the activities (https://youth.europa.eu/solidarity/mission_en).
